I've put myself out there...not that I've never done that before but still. I'm painting a canvas for the boys' school's Fall Festival's auction. I was asked to be in charge of Eli's class gift and thought, oh sure I'll just paint a canvas. Then before I knew it doubt, fear of rejection, criticism of myself all set in. I've worked way too many hours already on this thing and it's still not done. I have four days left. In between nap time, late nights and a brush here and there I hope to finish it. Now, we'll see if anyone bids on it (I'm not going to watch!)
I keep thinking of things to blog about and then just don't sit down to write. I love to write in my head...even only you could read those thoughts.
One - Elizabeth had her cardiology apt. yesterday and every thing is great! They did all the exams on her heart and the aorta is growing well and the blood is pumping at the right speed. One comment the doctor made to me when I asked "will she really have to come here every year for the rest of her life?" (she seems so healthy and perfect how can something really be wrong with her?) He said yes...and especially when she wants to get pregnant. What! Ok, imagining my sister girl married and trying to have a family almost made me burst into tears but then to think well, her body isn't perfect and she might indeed have troubles in her future made me sad. For that brief moment I saw again how fragile her body is...well, how fragile we all are.
But when I spoke to a friend about it this morning she helped me to put it in perspective. Thank God I know what little things might go wrong with sweet sister. Now we can take preventative care to insure she has the best health she can possibly have. Think of all the children or us for that matter that don't know what is going on in our bodies and we just have to deal with problems after the fact. So, I'm thankful for her wonderful doctor who truly cares about her! I'm thankful for the fact that she is a positive statistic in that she had no complications from her surgery and she is growing just as she should. I'm thankful for the miracles of medicine and those who are willing to give of themselves to learn the talent in helping others (and making lots of money!) hee hee
two - A follow up on Eli and his homework drama...he is doing much better since I bought a box of Pokemon cards to deal out at the end of each week! His tests last Friday were greatly improved and I look forward to getting the folder of work today from all of our studies this week! He still is not favorable towards school but honestly he never has been and probably won't ever (gee I don't know where he gets that from!)
That's all I have time for now. Back to painting!
